02 saturation venous is flagged as high 94% ( range 60-85) but at the same time my Lactate  is flagged as high at 2.5( range 0.4-2.0).

The way i am seeing it is The elevated lactate means my tissues are not getting enough oxygen yet at the same time my oxygen level is too high? or am i completely wrong? lactate levels should decrease in response to too much oxygen?

i was having muscle dysfunction, urinated myself, had a strawberry tongue, breathing was difficulty, felt like i had a seizure, the side of my face went numb,episodes have occurred a few times in the past year and last about 6 hours. I went to the er for the last one because it was particularly bad and this was one thing the blood work showed.

    Well from what i could find myself it is called HISTOTOXIC HYPOXIA which basically means a rise in SvO2 in the presence of a rising lactate is inappropriate - the patient who has resorted to anaerobic metabolism (third compensation) should have evidence of a high cardiac output and increased extraction.  This is an ominous finding, suggesting that the tissues are unable to extract.  It can be seen in late septic shock, or in cell poisoning such as cyanide.

    soo hmm a high cardiac output eh... i guess that would be why my heart rate spiked to 170bpm and my face and tongue went cherry red... Not to mention if it was cyanide poisioning my only poisble source would be the prescription cannabis i take which is supposed to be regulated and not sprayed with illegal pesticides... I think my family doctor has some serious explaining to do on these "normal" results...
